Review for The elements of landscape oil painting

This is a great learning book for the avid painter. A very detailed and in depth book that would not be good for a beginner because it is a "meat and potatoes" kind of book.

Book review for Classic Human Anatomy in Motion

This was a fabulous art book, but not great for a beginner. Great detail is shown throughout the book. If you want the real meat and potatoes of drawing and are looking for in depth detail this is the book for you. All round a great book.

Book review Bill Bryson

Bill Bryson makes you want to grab your hiking boots, a bottle of water and head to the Applachian Mountians. It's like getting in touch with mature and yourself once again. Great page turner and a must have book.

Book review for Second Street Station

What a great little read ! Anyone who loves Nancy Drew will enjoy Second Street Station. Quite a nice read, and mystery that may keep you up just to finish the book. Mary is really an under dog who has confidence in her dreams of being a detective.

Review for Unafraid

Excellent ! One thing most of us have a hard time with is trust, trusting God I think is harder. Susie Davis shows us how it is very possible to do just this. Based on a girls real time experience we are shown how we can surrender and rally trust God no matter what, and how that burden will be lifted from us once we do.

Book review for The Surrender Experiement

WOW ! All I can say is wow. Michael Singer has that touch of being able to make you dig deep within yourself, to your soul and allow you to stop and think about what is important, what is real, what is needed for us to be "happy" or alive. If you think you can't give something up read this book you will change your mind ! Kudos to Michael. A page turner for sure, one that will leave you evaluating your own life.

Book review for The Surrender Experiment

A deep a truly inspirational look at what can happen and did happen to one man who let it all go. I believe Michael Singer gives us a honest glimpse into what could be for all of us, if only we get in touch with our spiritual being. I challenge you to read this and not want to dig further within yourself so that you can also learn how to surrender.

Review for The Mapmakers Children

I could read this over again. Truly a deep and moving story. I love how the story flips between our modern day woman and our 1800's woman. History and bravery all in one. If your interested in abolished slavery times and the underground railway and all the goings on, READ THIS.... I promise you will not be let down.

Trisha brings some of her favorite recipes from her table to you. Simple, delicious recipes contributed by Trisha, her family and friends. The thing I love about the recipes in this book, is the fact that you really do not have to go buy a bunch of ingreients for one recipe, that you may never use again. True Southern recipes for anyone to enjoy.
